Question

Exercise 14-12 Pronghorn Company has two production departments, Fabricating and Assembling. At a department managers meeting, the controller uses flexible budget graphs to explain total budgeted costs. Separate graphs based on direct labor hours are used for each department. The graphs show the following. 1. At zero direct labor hours, the total budgeted cost line and the fixed cost line intersect the vertical axis at $48,000 in the Fabricating Department and $38,000 in the Assembling Department. 2. At normal capacity of 47,000 direct labor hours, the line drawn from the total budgeted cost line intersects the vertical axis at $132,600 in the Fabricating Department, and $103,800 in the Assembling Department. State the total budgeted cost formula for each department. (Round cost per direct labor hour to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25.) Fabricating Department s +total of $ per direct labor hour Assembling Department - +total of $ per direct labor hour Compute the total budgeted cost for each department, assuming actual direct labor hours worked were 50,000 and 44,000, in the Fabricating and Assembling Departments respectively. Fabricating Department Assembling Department The total budgeted cost

Explanation / Answer

Fabricating Departement:-
Fixed Overhead = $48000
Variable Overhead = ($132600 - $48000) / 47000 = $1.8 per direct labour hour

Assembling Department:-
Fixed Overhead = $38000
Variable Overhead = ($103800 - $38000) / 47000 = $1.4 per direct labour hour

Total budgeted cost formula:-
Fabricating Departement = $48000 fixed cost + variable overhead of $1.8 per direct labour hour
Assembling Departement = $38000 fixed cost + variable overhead of $1.4 per direct labour hour

2). Total budgeted cost for each department:-
Fabricating Department = $48000 + (50000 * $1.8) = $138,000
Assembling Departement = $38000 + (44000 * $1.4) = $99,600
